Hello Jim,
i double checked again - but it`s like i told:
echo zfs_prefetch_disable/W0t1 | mdb -kw
fixes my problem.
i did a reboot and only set this single param - which immediately makes the
read troughput go up from ~2 MB/s to ~30 MB/s

i did not even do a single write - after reboot i just did
dd if=/zfs/TESTFILE of=/dev/null
